Human Neurobehavioral Core Service (HNBCS)<\/h3>\n

The Human Neurobehavioral Core Service (HNBCS) is led by Celia Tam, Ph.D. The goal of HNBCS is to improve access to and expand behavioral assessment resources for translational neuroscience research at Boston Children\u2019s Hospital. The HNBCS offers a wide range of standardized neurodevelopmental assessments. Examples include measures of language development, adaptive abilities, motor skills, cognitive abilities, social skills, and behavioral and psychiatric disorders. HNBCS works with research participants of all ages and developmental abilities as well as individuals with genetic differences, medical or psychiatric diagnoses. We are involved in a wide variety of research from work with small groups to international consortium and from individual grants to large translational studies. In addition to assessment, HNBCS is available for consultation on research topic generation, phenotyping battery design, grant writing, database design, research form development, statistical analysis, poster development and research paper writing. We also provide assessment training on instruments such as the ADOS-2 and ADI.<\/p>\n
